It's been a while since we had a new addition to the fold.

pelaird was 'noticed' quite a while ago but took a little convincing on his part that he'd be right for the role.

You'll see him bouncing around on Wincustomize and on Stardock.com keeping things neat and tidy.

Please give Philip a warm welcome. [e digicons]:jafo:[/e]  

They said it wouldn't happen...

But you cannot keep a great Team/Company down.

Now all I have to do is find my desktop ....

Gene Hackman has passed away at 95.

Always enjoyed his films...as a goodie or a baddie.

He'll be missed.

R.I.P., Gene

Some people might recall 'back in the day' ...about 10 years ago .... Thermaltake joined forces with BMW Design and came out with the "Thermaltake Level 10" Limited Edition case.

It weighed a ton and was a silly price considering it didn't even come with a PSU ... $1299  AUD.

I ended up with No.221 of the world-wide 500.

Today, I saw on Ebay another for sale second hand [obviously] for $800 AUD - just "up the road" in South Australia .... No.21.

....and it comes with a MoBo and CPU.

Anyone who has had one knows how well they work being made from aluminium plate [not sheet] so are their own heat-sink and the sectioned compartments prevent heat transference as well.

A side effect of their huge weight and size..... no-one's likely to ever pinch it ....;)

My first one....No.221 ....

Now....let's see if I got this right....[it's been a little while since the last formal post].

Long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away [March, 2001], Wincustomize.com was created.

Slowly, evolving out of the Primordial Swamp there came Users.

With the relentless March of Time there were Promotions.

[People are promoted due to their involvement with the site and its Community, sometimes through artistic prowess, other times through Forum interaction.]

Many of this current bunch of recipients have been of great assistance in recent times with various new Product Releases which as we know can often cause issues requiring Support/assistance in resolution.

These are but the latest of them [and I bet I've missed a few as they're not necessarily contemporaneous. [there.... I used it in a sentence ....;) ]

Congratulations, one and all....

R. I. P., Tina.

Jan has been around for a million years [but holds his age well] and has always been a great unofficial help here at Wincustomize.com.

Over the decades our Numbers have diminished somewhat so it's timely that JanOscar became Official.

It'll take him a little time to get 'up to speed' [it's taken me nearly 22 years but I'm getting there], so be gentle.

I know I'm looking forward to working with him...;)

I'm 2 days late here....or 1 day late over there......

But it's July.  This is mine....nothing thrilling...except I can say the MP3 audio replay quality is better on the VLC than anything from the Llama's ass ...;)

What's adorning yours this July? ....;)  [if anyone's wondering...that's Julia Sawalha].....

Blimey....May already....

So....

What's on your desktops?   :)
